Artists We Love :: Will Varner
Blending the anxiety of American culture and childhood fantasy, Will Varner’s illustrations take you into a somewhat welcoming world of isolation and outsiders. With a haunting but humorous comic book aesthetic, Will Varner boldly explores the fears and troubles of society that keep us all wondering what might happen next.
Docs We Love :: The Century of the Self
In our consumerist society, the SELF is exalted and it’s desires reign supreme. Sigmund Freud was the first to examine our subconscious through psychoanalysis and his American nephew, Edward Bernays, used his uncle’s techniques to manipulate the masses by establishing the field of “public relations” and advertising as we know it. These techniques were so effective that soon the US government, political parties and the CIA began implementing them. Why do we buy things we don’t need? Is satisfaction our ultimate pursuit or is it a way for the powerful to keep us in line and docile? Has consumerism become the opiate of the masses?
The Century of the Self explores all these questions through an in-depth look at the history of psychoanalysis in our modern culture. – Moni Pineda
